From J Crew

I like the brown, it's really unusual to see a Summer linen top in brown. And I like the eyelet pattern on this shirt. It's on sale for $88.50.'

I'm shopping from my closet these days and I don't pay that much for shirts, I just think it's pretty. It's 100 percent linen too, that's too wrinkly for me. Also available in white.

JCrew is my go-to shop for clothing. I wish you had not shown these. I have spent all I can. Oh, I have a birthday coming up. I love the brown. I can wear brown too. One of my colors. Off to JCrew. Ciao. P.S. All the reviews were 5 stars except one and it was the only one that said it ran small. Most said it ran TTS or a little large. The one who said it ran small said she ordered a size 2 . Perhaps she should have ordered a 4. It's in my cart and my dreams. I have to decide. I have a credit there because I have a return on its way. That might be my salvation if I decide to get it.

@Greeneyedlady21 Your post is so interesting to me! That shirt looks like the classic shirt commonly worn by many businessmen in the Caribbean, a guayabera, because it is too hot to wear a suit. I have seen men wearing them all my life. Below are some I just grabbed from the internet. The only thing that is new is that they are being marketed to women!
